Lol have you ever tried to send money internationally? With no ID or permission necessary? This video is 8 minutes long from account creation to full settlement anywhere on the planet. What a "nightmare"!

The last 2 months, I have made over $60,000 from Bitcoin but my success never started that way as I had made substantial losses before my turning point in the Crypto space. I bought *2Btc last year which quickly rose in the bull run but eventually lost most of it and sold off what was left. That was the last I would ever have to do with bitcoins until I was introduced to Mark Hall first of, he asked to know my trade experience. He then gave me a quick insight on what to look out for when choosing a platform and a bunch of other things most experienced traders may never tell you. Most importantly, he introduced me to his specially designed layout and provided me with professional advice and accurate trade signals. With his system, trading has become easy and profitable and I just want to spread the word and thereby help as many that are in my previous unfortunate situation. For all questions, you can reach by **Mail ([email protected] com)

This is everything bitcoin wasn't supposed to be - you have to use a propriety address which is only compatible with certain wallets and you pay a fee for the privilege and lose your privacy as well. You suck.

Fair call, you were at the end of a very frustrating chain of events where instead of making one simple transaction like the good old days, I had to make a transfer to a compatible wallet, wait for confirmation and then repeat.. not your fault, I apologize. Bitpay Sucks.

davelynchiepoo I'm not Bitpay.
Also did you watch the video? It's a year and a half old and the address structure was a legacy address just like every other wallet at the time... So I don't know what you're talking about.
If you're referring to their new merchant addresses, then yes I agree, Bitpay sucks there. BTCpay server is a much better option.

ok i did a withdrawal from nicehash. i went to my bitpay app and hit recieve. then i copied htat link into the nicehash withdrawal page and confirmed. did i do this right? its been over 12 hours and i havent recieved payment even though blockchain.info says the transaction happened. am i checking bitpay right? i click the app and go to home and both my wallets say 0 bitcoins. please help me im so worried!!!

You skipped a very important part of this whole thing: connecting your Coinbase account with BitPay wallets. For example, I’ve set up the wallet, connected to Coinbase — the process is a royal pain in the butt — but I still can’t access my bit coins and transfer them to my personal wallet in BitPay. There also appears to be some fee that BitPay or Coinbase is charging when you want to make a purchase.

As of January 1st Coinbase WILL NOT load to a Bitpay Wallet. They have
Downgraded service. Of course, this is only for withdrawals. They are
recommending bank transfers instead which will take 7 to 10 days. Of
course they have NO problem with INCOMING deposits. They are happy to
take in your money but not to get it back to you with any speed or
reliability. Totally shady! Get your assets off of Coinbase as the
situation continues to deteriorate!

Hello, question & Help Please ... Do you know how I can send funds from my personal wallet on my desktop to read on my Bitpay card balance? Bitpay is showing a bad address when you try to add funds via online, so I followed the steps it gave to use a receive address from my desktop app, only it sent the funds to my personal wallet rather than to my Bitpay card balance?

Hey bro! How are you?
Do you know anyone that would be willing to trade $10USD in bitcoin for $10 Amazon Gift card e-code? I tried on Paxful & Local Bitcoin, but the sellers won't accept my debit card or E-code. :( And this is after using my debit card to buy the gift card from Amazon, this is sad and I'm in desperately need of help. Its my first time buying Norfolk and can't seem to get it together. If you don't mind, would you please push me in the right direction? This would be most graciously appreciated.
Best Regards.

I'm going to copy and paste this part in every fucking bit pay video I see.
So we need to build a card. Allow that card to communicate with trezor.. offline... Or nano.. offline.. Swipe with a card through a swiper enter your pin off line. Load funds directly from your trezor to your card for what you need for the day. Don't use these cards. Only spend bitcoins when business start loosing to amazon who excepts it they will be forced to except it as well.use your job to pay for your everyday needs or trade Bitcoin to friends and have them buy you stuff. Goddamn..

From my understanding and research it is Not advisable to keep fiat or crypto currency on ANY exchange due to the possibility of that exchange being hacked. I personally do not keep any cash or bitcoin, etc. on any exchange for longer than 15 mins. I hope this helps. I am fairly new but have taken the steps to protect my investments. Don't be alarmed. Overall this is a safe space to invest in. You just need to take a few basic precautions to protect your wealth no matter how small or large. Cheers :)

Martin Blair - Books thank you for the reply ! Also if I just want to sell some bitcoin on quadriga but don't really need to withdraw to get cash but just want to have that stored on the site in order to buy more bitcoin when I want is it safe to do this?

How much did those transactions cost? A good video for sure. I want to know how much it would cost me to open bitcoin/wallet accounts and buy a jacket for $250.00. I am also in Canada and would be using PayPal on a Mastercard in Canadian funds. If anyone else reads this, perhaps they can explain it to me..... THANK YOU.

Hello I am the owner of a Bitpay card
I installed their iOS app wallet and successcully linked to my Bitpay account. After that, I could check my Bitpay account inside the iOS app wich was convenient.
There is a feature in the iOS app allowing us to load our Bitpay card whic I used. I sent 0.25 Bitcoin to my Bitpay account.
The transaction has been confirmed but never showed up in my Bitpay account.
I wanted to send an email to the company but there were NO CONTACT INFORMATION on their web site. It means that they don't allow any of their customer to send them any email. (What a bad customer service isn't it ?)
Anyway, I managed to find their damn email by doing some research. I sent them an email, many times, but they never replied.
Here is the transaction that never went to my Bitpay account :

If you have any useful advice for me, that would be nice. Thank you.

Hello I hope you can help. I sent .316531 BTC from my coinbase wallet to the copay wallet which has ..0111 BTC . Now there is a notice that says amount to low to send. It has been over 4 days. Have you heard of this before?

Hey Ben, can I get some more help from you please? When I press the "send" button, the next screen that opens up is a "start sending bitcoin" and I have two options .... to buy bitcoin or show bitcoin address ..... no place for recipient. What am I doing wrong? If I select the buy bitcoin option, it takes me to Coinbase, then when I select buy bitcoin it says there is no payment method available. If I try to sell bitcoin from Coinbase it says "insufficient funds" when in fact there are funds in my account. HELP. Thank you.

I'm having trouble with this. I was on a site went to checkout and they didn't except CC's anymore so I had to get bitcoins and all that. So I went back to the order and checked out. It sent me to the page that shows the scan code. Well I couldn't scan it. Their was a address right above it! So I copied it and hit pay with bitcoin! From their it took me to the app. I hit my btc wallet put the amount in and hit the plus sign in the lower comer pasted that address in added the money I might have that backwards but anyway I hit send and it went threw! Well I thought. I called the company to see if they got it and he said he could see that I tried but it didn't go threw! What do i do? I was buying from a seed company and it seems I'm gonna lose about 100$ any help would be great!

hello,
I imported my wallet from a paper wallet to copay. I used the import wallet option and
put in my recovery phrase and password for my private key. It showed that it was transferring
and showed the correct amount. It's several hours later and I don't see the amount in my copay wallet. How long does it usually take to show up? Any response is much appreciated. Thank you.

Can someone explain why when i use Electrum if i have a low amount left in my wallet such as 5 dollars worth and i get paid from mining say 40 dollars it combines the two where as with BitPay it leaves the big payment as its own thing and the 5 dollars as its own thing.

Hi Ben, gr8 vid (yet again). I am new with BTC (in fact did my 1st purchase today). So im still learning all the ins and outs. Just wondering if you can advise or tell us (the newbies) what is your top 5 wallets that you can recommend. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work ;-)

Hello, with the look of things you shouldn't have to stress yourself or worry about, waves or other little hindrance when mining crypto currency. I'm a miner and I invest in a mining company that mines purely Bitcoin. the fact here is that i do it effortlessly by just investing and wait to cash out to my bitcoin wallet, I think you should do same so that you won't have a reason to worry about the fluctuation and possibilities of not profiting.You can as well contact me on [email protected], so i can put you through in becoming successful and profitable.

what are the fees associated with Bitpay? When I travel and use my credit card overseas I get hit with a 5% fee (2.5% transaction/2.5% currency conversation fee) If I get bitpay could I eliminate this? Or keep my costs to a minimum?

@btcsessions
do you know of any Bitcoin Cards that work for US Canadians? Bitpay seemed like a Godsend. I went ahead and bought the $15 Card.. Input my address etc and then found this video 3 days later :/ lol

That's a good question - since I'm in Canada I don't have access to the Bitpay Visa card. If you're going overseas though I would recommend checking out Wirex or Bitwala cards. They allow for you to change your BTC into British Pounds or Euros. As long as you're buying stuff in those currencies then there are no fees other than buying the card itself and the Bitcoin network fee when you send over your coins. Much cheaper than dealing with a bank.
Search for my Wirex video from a couple months ago and it should give you a better idea of how it works!

I see no one replied to your question Lisa so I will. I am new to this but I am using Jaxx wallet on my mobile and also hard wallet Ledger nano S. They will let you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Hope this helps.

Having issues with a error after buying. The error is related to a 2 step verification which I'm not sure what it's referring to. I logged into coinbase on the computer and completed everything. Not sure what the issue is.

Will-you can buy a hardwallet (ex: Ledger Wallet or Trezor to HODL or take out little by little) or you transfer it to an exchange that has the ability to transfer to PayPal to purchase things from websites as well.

Hey Ben! I've been following you since last year, nice job man! when youre coming to Australia (Brisbane) (y) Just wanted to ask you about your Sunnies what brand and model are they, Theyre MAD!!
If you could please let me know. Thanks!!

Hey Dan! Thanks for following along on my journey with the channel :)
I've been to Australia before but it was years ago in 2007! I really miss it and I hope to return again someday soon.
The sunglasses I have here are actually not very expensive. I got them from a store in Canada called Boathouse. 2 pairs for $30 CAD. I tend to lose/break a lot of pairs, so that's why they switch so often in the videos, haha.
Thanks for the comment!

Fair enough. Do you know if the problem is on Bitpay's end or on Coinbase's end? Could be either one.
Just a heads up, when you connect your Coinbase account to your Bitpay wallet, it doesn't mean that you have access to the funds, it just means that you can buy Bitcoin instantly from your Bitpay wallet and have them transferred there. Anything you bought separately on the Coinbase website will only be available on your Coinbase wallet. Luckily if you prefer to use just a single platform you can just download the Coinbase wallet to your phone.
You can also send your Bitcoin from your Coinbase wallet to your Bitpay wallet if you choose to.

Where do I get a wallet with a QR Code? Do I go to blockchain? Or do I have to go to coinbase? Are there others that are good and are there some that I don't have to link my bank account to? I am in the U.S. if that matters. Sorry for all of the newbie questions lol.....but this is one of the first videos (along with your ATM one I just watched) that make any sense of this and intrigue me. Thanks to anyone who comments. And thank you for the videos.

Hey Jack, welcome to Bitcoin! Don't worry about the newbie questions - we were ALL there once.
As far as your question goes, any wallet app will automatically generate addresses/QR codes for you. Every time you receive money it generates a new address to keep your transactions more confidential. Not to worry though, your funds will still be in the same place.
The videos I recommend you check out first to start getting a handle on how wallets work, and some of the possibilities with BTC are these:

Hello everyone. i am here to share with you all a BTC mining tools i discovered while surfing the internet, it's called BMS, with this software, i am able to wallet 0.7 to 1BTC daily. I have been using it for over a month now and i can assure you it work very well. . I will recommend everyone to try it out. If after installation it doesn't make up to the amount of bitcoin i said, feel free to uninstall it. follow the link below to download the software.

If someone is depositing directly to your Bitpay Visa then I believe it is already Bitcoin and should be accessible via your account. I could be wrong though - I'm unsure how the Bitpay or Coinbase Visa cards work because we're not able to get them up in Canada.
The one I'm using right now is called Wirex. I have Bitcoin in my Wirex BTC wallet on my phone, and when I want to spend some, I can hit a button to transfer it into USD or Euros or British pounds on any of my cards. I also have the option to just send the Bitcoin anywhere, like in a regular btc wallet.

Hey hey, it is actually quite simple with this app. All you need to do is scan the PRIVATE key (which I believe will be the QR code on the right side) and select to sweep your funds. If you've created the paper wallet with a password, Bitpay will ask you to enter it at this time. That's it!

Oneximo Sanchez you only ever pay a fee as a sender, and it is actually not charged by the wallet itself. This fee goes to the Bitcoin miners, which are the people who check transactions and maintain the network. Fees can vary based on how busy the network is. Right now they can sometimes be $0.50 or $1, but as the network is scaled over time we should see those fees drastically reduced.

I have a feeling that Bitcoin may be right up your alley, especially with this push towards a cashless society. Soon Bitcoin and other digital currencies may be the only way around having to put your money in a bank.

Would you like to comment?

The acryptoa portion of the word denotes the cryptography used to ensure the blockchain, and the acurrencya portion of the word denotes the ability to exchange the tokens for goods and solutions. The absolute pacifism part is assumed I think, in spite of someone having the capability to locate some examples where it may appear otherwise. What you share is is an instance of absolute terror onto people who ought to be fought if it may be. The numbers won`t be good. Today they are much higher.
You`ll reap the benefits for the very long haul if you stick with your advertising and marketing guns. There are certain sorts of offerings that have special exemptions from the full blown registration practice. The range is hard to specify, taking into consideration the diversity in choices. According to the provision, the scope of the very first transaction in NEPSE is within three times the provider`s book value.
When the project is completed, the tokens value is probably going to increase because there is currently a tangible item, instead of simply an idea. After all, research demonstrates that clients use their networks to choose consultants more than every other method, and they, without doubt, know somebody who knows you. Getting knowledge in the region of property investment is insufficient. You may observe I didn`t speak about a few skills. After all, in case you have a saleable skill, it`s a simple business to enter.
A collection company cannot collect any sum of money that isn`t permitted by law or by agreement. Furthermore, it would be required to show the terms of that agreement in court. It is not surprising that consulting is attractive to numerous individuals who wish to launch a company. You also have to know the way the corporation will account for the exchanging of tokens. Starting a public company is a complicated and costly undertaking. Doing so makes a contract that might be binding. If you haven`t signed a contract with the collection business, you owe them nothing.
Inside my view there is just one house, and all of us live in it. Property should not be damaged. In addition, should the property is well-connected to the public transport, then it aids in giving a good advantage, particularly for the middle-class family.
As previously mentioned, the majority of the above coins are offered for purchase direct from the Royal Mint. Offerings where the total raised is less than one million dollars come beneath a special procedure that is far less complicated. Once more, money well spent. Another method is to commit your own money. It s pretty obvious to anybody who reads the accounts. You DON`T need to make a new account.
Enterprises and entire countries are now able to block Tor traffic without any issues. Nobody is suggesting that it isn`t the work of liberal Whites to oppose what`s wrong. To the contrary, the investments with the period of time of over five years are called as long-term investments. Original investors can then opt to sell their tokens to earn a significant profit.
